The Four Cs

Diamond Rarity

Diamond

At Helzberg Diamonds, we pride ourselves on having extremely strict standards for diamond quality - especially when it comes to the cut of our diamonds. We stand behind every diamond that goes into every piece of our jewelry, ensuring that it lives up to the standards we have upheld since 1915.

The basics of diamonds has always come down to the 4Cs - cut, color, clarity and carat weight.

Cut: The cut of a diamond affects how well a diamond returns light back to the viewer's eye. A well cut diamond will appear brilliant and fiery.

Color: A diamond's color is a measure of the stone's whiteness, meaning it is actually measuring the lack of color a diamond has.

Clarity: The clarity of a diamond refers to the presence (or lack) of imperfections. Generally, the more imperfections (or inclusions) a diamond has, the lower the clarity.

Carat Weight: A carat specifically measures a diamond's weight. Because of its rarity, one larger diamond is more valuable than a combination of smaller diamonds.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Melissa701 Love It!
My husband proposed to me with this ring last year in July. I absolutely love it. He surprised me when he had some of the diamonds on the sides replaced with sapphires. It sparkles very much and I couldn't be any happier with this ring.

My fiance' and I picked this ring out together and I couldn't be happier with our choice! It's classic-looking and beautiful, with simple details that just sparkle in every light! Even the tiny diamonds on the sides capture the light!
We looked at maybe 20 rings at Helzberg (the only store we visited) and this was, by far, this ring the one for me! Thank you, Helzberg! I will be returning for my wedding band!
